Question

finding the area of triangles
the base (b) of the triangle is
units.
the height (h) of the triangle is
units.
the area of the triangle is
square units.

Explanation:

Step1: Determine the base and height

From the grid, the base \(b\) of the right - triangle (horizontal side) is \(5\) units and the height \(h\) (vertical side) is \(2\) units.

Step2: Use the area formula for a triangle

The formula for the area of a triangle is \(A=\frac{1}{2}bh\). Substitute \(b = 5\) and \(h=2\) into the formula: \(A=\frac{1}{2}\times5\times2\).
